Big thanks to all of the @TheCreativeC members who joined #AARPAdvocatesNationwide for a very full day of meetings with Congress. 🫶

Shout out to my amazing colleagues for this big step!

Today’s White House Executive Order recognizes the essential role that family caregivers play in our health and long-term care system.

This is a huge victory building on years of hard work by advocates and policymakers on both sides of the aisle.

Members of Congress have a lot of explaining to do to the 87% of voters 50+ who support Medicare being able to negotiate lower drug prices.

The pandemic is creating a mental health crisis that is not getting the attention it deserves. 31% of unpaid family caregivers have considered suicide (as of June) https://t.co/9s1R3w9Tox

Important analysis by WSJ’s @annawmathews @cdweaver @jon_kamp shows rising COVID cases in nursing homes across the Sun Belt, insufficient PPE, and problems w/testing.

@AARP is urging federal & state leaders to take action NOW to protect residents in long-term care facilities.

[Bob Stephen @Bob_Stephen]

This seems like a smart move by MN - will be interesting to see what procedures are put in place to make this safe. https://t.co/la4aGOX1Af

As nursing home residents died, new covid-19 protections shielded companies from lawsuits. Families say that hides… https://t.co/Hc4Md0V2j3
